Long time no blog! I hope everyone is doing well. Then again, the kind of person who is still reading this comic is obviously an unbalanced maniac. At least that’s the impression I get from meeting you guys at conventions.

I kid, I mostly kid.

Things are still trucking along in the world of Atomic Robo. We’ve got a Kickstarter running right now to collect our newest stories into fancy hardcovers. Check out the campaign!

Fellowship is a Lord of the Rings kind of structure that isn’t tied to a Lord of the Rings kind of world. Also the GM kind of gets to play a character too, but there’s rules to how that works so it’s actually fun for the GM to play, and entertaining for the PCs to interact, and useful to the game as a whole rather than the usual, y’know, GMPC who gets all the best trench coats and katanas.

Fellowship is already fully funded, so at this point you’re getting a complete game guaranteed. The higher we can push their funding, the more goodies we can get. It’s win-win.

Sort of a space fleet RTS thing, which is a genre I love, but then every game turns into a complete disaster. I can never tell if I just suck at them or if these games’ systems tend to get in the way of actually playing them. XO looks to get around that by streamlining its systems rather than simplifying its gameplay.

Do you like conventions? Do you like gaming? Because there’s this tabletop gaming convention called Big Bad Con that’s pretty cool. And it has the added benefit of contributing to charities.

I’ve not been, because it’s on the opposite side of the country and I don’t truck with heathen timezones. But I know a lot of folks who have been, and they had a great time. It’s a smaller event, but I find y’kinda want that in a gaming show. Gives you a chance to check out stuff more in-depth and to really get your hands dirty tinkering and feedbacking on up and coming games.

They’re running a Kickstarter to make this year’s show the best one yet. They surpassed their goal pretty quickly, so now it’s just a matter of adding as many bells and whistles as possible. Check it out. Even if you aren’t in the area or don’t plan to attend, there’s nothing wrong with supporting independent gaming and charity at the same time.
